2009 Draft Order after CC signing

Here's a link to the 2009 draft order, before any free agent signings.

Assuming we don't sign any Type A's (not at all a lock), we've got #27 overall.

At the moment, we've also got the Yankees first-rounder, which is #26 overall.  That will change only if the Yankees sign Teixiera, which would mean the Angels get #26 and we get the Yanks second-round pick.  Fortunately, that appears unlikely.

Also, we get a supplemental first rounder for CC.  The supp 1sts for Type A's precede the supp 1sts for Type B's, so the very latest possible supp pick we could get for CC would be #43.  That presumes every other Type A changes teams, and they all sign with teams who were worse than the Brewers last year -- in other words, an unlikely scenario.  More likely, we'll get something like #38.

Here is a list of the teams/picks we could get for Sheets:

17. Dodgers (84-78)
18. Marlins (84-77)
19. Cardinals (86-76)
20. Blue Jays (86-76)
22. Astros (86-75)
23. Twins (88-75)
24. White Sox (89-74)
25. Mets (89-73)
28. Phillies (92-70)
30. Red Sox (95-67)
31. Rays (97-65)
32. Cubs (97-64)
33. Angels (100-62)

Getting one of those picks requires not only that the team signs Sheets, but that the team *doesn't* sign a higher-ranked Type A.  (If that happens, we get that team's 2nd rounder.)  I couldn't find a complete list of Type A rankings (I know who the A's are, just not who outranks Sheets), so if anybody has a link, please post it.

Regardless of who signs Sheets, we'll get a supp 1st for him, too.  Again, that should be around #40.   If a team *not* on the above list signs him, we'll probably get their 2nd rounder, a pick that will be in the first half of the second round--between about #50 and #65.  (Unless, again, the team that signs Sheets also signs a higher ranked Type A, in which case we're knocked down to that team's *third* pick.)

Finally, if somebody else signs Shouse, that nets us a supplemental pick -- probably somewhere in the 40s.

If we don't sign any Type A's, that gives us the following:

• #26 (Yankees)
• #27 (our 1st rounder)
• #40ish (Sabathia supplemental)
• #40ish (Sheets supplemental)
• #45ish (Shouse supplemental)
• something between #17 and #65 (Sheets compensation)
• #75ish (our 2nd rounder)

Finally, since I've covered every other angle of this, let's finish it off.  Here are the guys who, if we sign them, we give up our #27 pick:

Varitek, Teixiera, Orlando Hudson, Orlando Cabrera, Raul Ibanez, Manny Ramirez, Burnett, Lowe, Oliver Perez, FUentes, Juan Cruz.
